I thought everyone would love this. A former Kendall station in a second life as a Rafter's ice cream shop. It is located in Silver Creek, N.Y. That's in western New York on Lake Erie just off I-90. Roadtrip!



Here is their Web site with a nice vintage picture of the original station: http://www.raftersicecream.com/

Hi Joe,
Wow, you finally joined in. Now that you've found how easy it is to post a message, let's hear from you regularly.

I really enjoyed the visit to your old place in Illinois a while back. The recreated general store - gas station on your property was great. I can't believe you sold it. I should have bought it myself.

I've been looking for a location like this for a coffee shop. Looks like you did a great job on your ice cream store. It's nice to see the old stations given another chance, especially when you maintain the nostalgic look of the station.

Nice work!
